Sing unto the Lord, etc. The prophet addresses the people in these words.¹⁴The Hebrew text has דברי הנביא lit., the words of the prophet. This phrase is to be compared with the corresponding one : שאמר לו השם בעד נפשו אלה דברי הנביא The Lord addresses with these words the prophet upon his own concerns (ver. 6.) I.
